In mid-February, the first buds on our Camellia are starting to burst to show all their beauty. When exactly this happens is decided by Mother Nature, not by Man. Hence, it may well be that the exact date of opening our Camellia House is postponed, but for the time being we are planning this to happen on February 17, 2018.

Until mid-April, visitors may then get their own impression of the blazing splendor of bloom and blossom in the Camellia House. The Camellia is more than 250 years old and is deemed the largest and oldest of its kind north of the Alps.

And those who would like to admire yet more beautiful flowerage may walk next door into the Palm House where the can marvel at strelitzias, proteas and “kangaroo paws”.

The house will remain closed in the event of storm or great cold.

Tickets at € 3.00, reduced rate € 2.50 € (children up to age 16 free), can be purchased from the Visitor Center “Old Guard House”, at the Camellia House or from the ticket dispenser in the Palm House. Tickets apply to both the Camellia and the Palm Houses.
